Friends of Adam - Wheat & Gluten Free Bakery

The bakery in Hornstull.

People adopting a gluten free diet has become quite
common these days... whether due to allergies, Coeliac disease or sometimes even as a fad
diet. But whatever the reason, there are many more options for people on a
gluten free diet these days than before. Restaurants in Stockholm are generally
very good at catering to people with dietary restrictions (gluten sensitivity,
lactose intolerance, vegetarianism, etc.). However, for best results, I would
recommend informing the restaurants ahead of time of any restrictions... like
when you book your table.

A wide variety of bread...

Of special note for people on a gluten free diet in
Stockholm is the bakeryFriends of Adam. This wheat & gluten free bakeryis
located onthe island of Södermalm, in the hip neighborhood ofHornstull (not too far from theRival
Hotel). Here you can purchase
bread, muffins, crisp bread, buns, cookies, mixes and other goodies... all
baked in the same locale. You can even pre order cakes for that special
occasion.

Cookies, crackers and crisp bread.

But you don't need to visit the bakery to buy Friends
of Adam products. Their products can be found in certain grocery stores
throughout the city. For example, rightaround
the cornerfrom the Rival Hotel we have8T8. This specialty grocery store sells what they call
"conscious" food. By that they mean food that is often organically
produced, made/grown locally and without unnecessary additives.They also have
a good choice of products for people with dietary restrictions or special
diets and do carry Friends of Adam cookies and crisp bread.

About Me

Greetings! My name is Sean Naughton and I work as the Concierge at the Rival Hotel, one of the premiere hotels in Stockholm. I am also a member of Les Clefs d'Or. Through both my work and my personal life I get to experience a lot of what Stockholm has to offer... museums, events, sightseeing tours, adventures, spas, restaurants and nightlife. It's lots of information to absorb and I thought that a blog would be a great way to collect this information and share it with guests of the Rival Hotel and other visitors to Stockholm. I will not be listing everything that Stockholm has to offer; instead I will add day by day and week by week my experiences and thoughts exploring this great city, along with practical tips and upcoming events. I hope that you, as a future visitor to Stockholm, will find the information and experiences listed here of use in planning what to do and see during your visit to the "Capital of Scandinavia". For hotel guests: any help or questions, contact me directly at concierge@rival.se. If you are not staying at the Rival Hotel then I would recommend contacting the Stockholm's Vistors Board at touristinfo@stockholm.se
